Cured

Cured

Although it’s hard to imagine by modern standards, doctors used to classify every queer person as mentally ill until 1973. Cured takes you back to the campaign that proved to be a pivotal moment in the battle for LGBT equality: The American Psychiatric Association’s decision to remove homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses. These poignant pages of queer history are brought to life through rediscovered archival footage, along with newly recorded interviews and a keen sense of what was at stake at the time.
